Top 10 NHS Trusts facing privatisation.

I was trying to reblog a post on The Green Benches about the possible privatisation of 10 NHS trusts in England, but it didn’t seem to work. Essentially the claim is that there are a number of NHS trusts in England that are either in administration, facing administration, or in fairly dire financial straights. It is thought that the preferred “solution” to much of this will be to effectively privatise some or all the hospitals within these trusts. This will occur by selling off hospitals or through some kind of franchise deal with a private healthcare provider (as has already happened with Hitchingbrooke hospital and Circle Healthcare). I think this would be a terrible outcome and one that will be very difficult to reverse if something isn’t done about it soon. It will also effectively prove that the current government’s ultimate aim is to privatise as much of the NHS as possible. I would suggest reading the post yourself and making up your own mind.

We have the solutions to the climate crisis. What is missing to solve the climate crisis is political will. We the people need to tell our elected officials it’s time that polluting industries pay a “dumping” fee, and that we want the money returned to households to help us all make the shift to the clean energy economy of the 21st Century. The price of more delay is economic and human disaster. Our children deserve better.
